Cumberland Mountain State Park received over $14,000 ($14,287 exact) in the “My Tennessee State Park” fundraiser.

The money will be used to support virtual programming for schools, the annual Junior Rangers day camp for youth, the Birds of Prey exhibit and a new honeybee project.

“Thank you to everybody who supported and donated in the 2020 My Tennessee State Park Challenge,” said Ranger Mark Houston. “If you guys know the history of Cumberland Mountain, you know that the community coming out of the Great Depression needed a park. That community rallied around each other just like our community today rallied and brought home the title.”
